Thrilled to share that my mentor, @FedeSalasLucia, and I received the $50K CMND @UChicago_Brains Trainer & Trainee Pilot Award!
I’ll lead our project exploring how thyroid hormone signaling shapes the birth and maturation of human neurons using iPSC models & live-cell imaging.

Thyroid hormones are important for neurodevelopment during the first trimester of pregnancy.
Here, @FedeSalasLucia @Bianco_Lab & team @UChicago model suboptimal thyroid hormone levels during the early stages of cerebral cortex development, revealing an unappreciated role for T4 in promoting early fetal cerebral cortex development: insight.jci.org/articles/vie…

Neural precursor cells generate most of the neurons of the cerebral cortex, and now we know that they can respond to thyroid hormone! @esruse @UChicago_Brains @AmThyroidAssn

Did you know that thyroid hormones and Alzheimer's disease are interrelated? If you're interested, check out my latest review with @FedeSalasLucia at @EndoSocJournals 👇

The identification of critical factors that can worsen the mechanisms contributing to the pathophysiology of Alzheimer disease is of paramount importance. Thyroid hormones fit this criterion. Learn why in our latest review: academic.oup.com/endo/articl…

¿Es realmente la percepción una “alucinación cerebral controlada por los sentidos”, tal y como afirma @anilkseth en su último libro?
👉🏻En este artículo analizamos detenidamente la fórmula y llegamos a la siguiente conclusión: no.

If you are attending the ENDO2024 in Boston, tomorrow there will be a debate on using T3 to treat hypothyroidism. Dr. Simon Pearce will speak "against it" and I will speak "in favor" of it. Stop by if you can. It should be interesting. eppro02.ativ.me/appinfo.php?… #ENDO2024

I am grateful for this recognition.

Federico Salas-Lucia, PhD, and Sergio Escamilla won second place in our Endocrine Images Competition (bit.ly/4beJlBc) for their image of mechanisms of thyroid hormone action in brain organoids! Make sure to view their image in enlarged detail at #ENDO2024 and explore #thyroid-related sessions (bit.ly/3TMIrFD). @FedeSalasLucia
